Ensalada de maíz - Corn and Potato Salad

By Bonnie Hamre, About.com

Called a corn salad, this salad is actually corn, potatoes, olive, ham and cheese in a simple vinaigrette dressing. Served slightly warm or cold, this salad is a flavorful alternative to traditional potato salads.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 2 potatos
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 - 5 ounces ham, cubed
  • 6 black olives, pitted
  • 4 - 5 ounces Mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • Parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • salt and peper to taste
  • Spanish: -
  • Una lata de maíz tierno de 300 g escurrido
  • 2 papas
  • Una cebolla tajada
  • 125 g de jamón de pollo cortado en cubos
  • 6 aceitunas negras deshuesadas
  • 125 g de queso mozarella cortado en cubos
  • Un ramito de perejil finamente picado
  • 4 cucharadas de aceite de oliva
  • 2 cucharadas de vinagre
  • sal
  • pimienta

Preparation:

English: - Cook the potatoes in salted water until soft, but hold their shape. Drain, peel and cube. Set aside to cool. Soak the onion in boiling salted water for five minutes (this removes the sharpness) and drain. Set aside to cool. Mix the onion, potato, corn, ham, olives and cheese together. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar with salt and pepper to taste, then slowly beat in the oil to make a dressing. Pour over the salad and mix gently. Sprinkle parsley over the top. Serve slightly warm or cool until needed.

Spanish: - Cocine las papas en abundante agua con sal hasta que estén blandas pero consistentes. Escúrralas, pélelas, córtelas en cubos y reserve. Desangre la cebolla en agua con sal hirviendo durante 5 minutos. Escúrrala y resérvela. Disponga la papa en la ensaladera. Agregue la cebolla, las aceitunas, el queso, el maíz, el jamón y revuelva. En un recipiente pequeño, mezcle el vinagre con una pizca de sal y de pimienta. Agregue poco a poco el aceite y bata hasta obtener una preparación homogénea. Vierta este aderezo sobre la ensalada y decore con el perejil.
